Any Questions?

Today was a routine colonoscopy day for me....It was the 7th
procedure, in that body area, in the last 5 years......And,
after 7th procedures of this kind one does know what is
going on......

Any trip to a hospital for the smallest of surgical procedure
requires answering the same 'set' of questions over and over
again.....Legal redundancy......Also the helpful nurses and
nurse's assistants always say the same thing, "Do you have
any questions?".......

Today I said, "Yes, I have."......Then I said, "But you do not
know the answer."........Well, I asked the question and no one
had the answer......Question was, "Why do the instructions
for the colon cleansing and flush, which takes place the day
before, change every year?".......

Over the past 5 years the 'cleansing process' has changed
from an 18 hour ordeal to a 36 hour one, with additional
medications being used......This time around it was 43 hours
from last meal to the next one......

I wonder if they made the 'cleansing solutions' more tasteful
would people be inclined to have a proper bowel cleansing?.....

In any case today's colonoscopy results were perfect....
No problems.......Pumps
